What it is about (from the publisher's website):
Are you confused by all the advice you hear and see daily on how to "go green"? Do you want to incorporate earth-friendly practices into your life, but you don't know where to start? Don't stress! Green guru Sophie Uliano has sorted through all the eco-info out there and put everything you need to know about living a green lifestyle right at your fingertips.
In 'Gorgeously Green', Sophie offers a simple eight-step program that is an easy and fun way to begin living an earth-friendly life. Each chapter covers topics from beauty to fitness, shopping to your kitchen—even your transportation. Whether it's finding the right lipstick, making dinner, buying gifts, or picking out a hot new outfit, finally, there is a book that tackles your daily eco-challenges with a take-charge plan.
Why you should get it:
1. I like the idea of a steps-program. Many people find themselves confused with all the green alternatives that they hear about and don't know where to start or how much to change and in what pace. Sometimes all you need is a good program to follow and I also agree with the attitude of making changes in steps. The author said in an interview to Amazon.com: "I agree that it is hard to break old habits. My suggestion is to break one habit at a time." I couldn't agree more.
2. It might be obvious to some, but to many it's still not clear that going green can be relatively easy, can save you money and does not mean you have to be less fashionable or less cool. This book intends to guide you how to do it right.
3. The 8 steps touch important aspects of life: mind (awareness), body (cosmetics and food), home, daily activities (shopping, transportation) and even having fun. It might not give you all the answers you're looking for, but for sure it can be a good road map to start the green journey with.

Dear Raz,
Thanks for the compliments you left in my blog. I found it a great motivation to continue my effort in writing for the cause of the environment. I am trying my best to raise the awareness among the Malaysian people, as well as promoting my own country as well.
